Hey folks,
I am knee deep in transmission bits right now, trying to figure out what to
do with all these ford and rover bits. Here's where I am getting hung up.
Between the rover transmission and transfer case I am dissassembling, there
is a distance piece, with a saucer shaped disk pressed onto it, for oil
control I presume, on the main output shaft, where it exits the
transmission, and enters the T case. I have seen this before.
But, for some reason, I cannot remember ever seeing a seal riding on this
distance piece, that is in the transmission, next to the rearmost output
shaft bearing. The transmission is a series III suff. A, and I am wondering
if this was added later in the design, or my other rover transmission, which
had been previously redone I presume, had a missing seal, or is my mind
turning turning to blue spongy foam, like in that movies I saw once for
three bucks. The seal keeps oil in its respective case, which seems like a
pretty good idea, and I am incorporating it into my adapter plate (being
reworked, as everything I do is in a state of constant modification). I
don't remember ever seeing a seal on my suffix A series II lowrange transfer
case.
Can someone shine some light into this manner... I doubt putting a seal
there would hurt anything, I'm really only interested in knowing if there
was always a seal there in rover transmissions.
thanks,
J-L
